Christmas

Christmas this year was crazy. We went down to Blanding this year and I went down the week before so we could get our visits in and everything else because 3 days in Blanding is NOT enough time for us. Anyways Ryder and I hung out and had a lot of fun until dad got there. We had Grandmas Clea's party the Sunday before Christmas, we hung out at Misty's A LOT and just had fun. Clayt came down the following Thursday 3 days before Christmas. He went out shooting with is nephews and we pretty much just hung out. Friday night we had a dinner/party at Karens played games and had lots of laughs. Saturday night we had another dinner/party at Denise's house and opened our "name" gifts. Christmas day was CRAZY we had to wake up early and wake Ryder up so we could go to church. Ryder wasn't very fun he was too tired and just didn't care he opened a few and then he go to his trucks and didn't care to open the rest. We went to church and listened to Kortney sing and then we left we went to my moms for the traditional breakfast and then opened gifts from her. Right after there we went to Grandma Cleas for soup and open gifts from her. After we were done there we had a couple hour break Clayton and Ryder slept and I went and hung out at Misty's. Then we had another party at Marcias and opened our gifts from her. It was a fun crazy busy time. I didn't get the pictures I like to get on Christmas morning it was just a rush I'll admit I HATE not having Christmas at my own house Christmas in Blanding is fun but it's too busy and we don't get to enjoy ourselves. But overall we had a fun Christmas and we got spoiled as always :) Thanks for a great Christmas everyone :)

This doesn't look good hahaha

Jodene got Ryder this Cars beanbag chair and lets just say my 2 year old was a very ungrateful boy he cried and cried because he wanted trucks and didn't want anything to do with this chair.. We think he was sad because we kept telling him Santa Clause was bringing him trucks and he was getting trucks for Christmas and plus all the other boys got trucks this night too.. But he does like this chair now. Thanks Jodene

The wild little boys

Karen's dog had puppies and Ryder LOVED them..

Santa Clause came and saw us at Grandma Cleas house.

Ryder wouldn't sit on his lap and just cried so Easton told him he was taking him to Karens to see the puppies and then sat on Santa's lap :) Thanks East

Collin and Santa Clause

Ryder not sure about Santa Clause

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving it was with my family so since my sister Crystal was having her baby the Monday after Thanksgiving my parents and Stormy and her family and Misty and her family came up. We were going to eat at the Clubhouse at my complex but it wasn't until later so we just decided to eat at Crystals and then we went to the Clubhouse later and played games. We had a lot of fun the kids had a good time playing with each other. Around 9 that night we went to Walmart and got ready to get our Black Friday shopping done. This was Misty and Stormy's first time and they say never again haha they would rather pay the full price then fight those crowds haha Clayt was a trooper and went for the first hour with us to walmart but then went home after we decided to go to other stores. We had so much fun and it was fun to be with everyone.
